 Rating:  - Nice to Have You Back KidsIt's been 10 years since the first X-Files movie, The X-Files - Fight the Future came out and with the iconic show long since vanished from the airwaves, it came as quite a shock to hear last year that a follow-up had finally been green lighted. I was a big fan of the series and of Fight the Future, which I felt got short shrift from movie audiences at the time and should been more widely recognized for the quality production it was. But like most of us I was disappointed to hear that the new film, subtitled I Want to Believe, wouldn't focus on aliens or the global conspiracy to cover-up the presence of same but would instead be what the fans used to call a "Monster of the Week" episode. That is, a standalone piece that wouldn't advance the show's over-arching mythology. Fox evidently was willing to take a shot at reviving the franchise as long as it could be made on a low budget. As a result, there are no city sized alien spacecraft, huge sets or dazzling special effects. This movie simply updates us on what's happened to Scully and Mulder in the six years since the show went off the air. As a character study, the movie works well. Both main characters have long since abandoned the FBI and Mulder is in hiding, although it seems the FBI isn't trying very hard to find him. They're brought back into the FBI fold when a case with supernatural overtones has the investigating agents baffled.

As a true fan of the show, I was so excited to see this. Please do not make the same mistake I did. Save your money and your time. The plot is laughable and it has nothing to do with the show or the paranormal. One of the worst plots in years. Now I know why this is on almost every critics list for worst films of 2008. Rating:  - Do not recommend, Wait till they show it on TVPicture quality Outstanding, Sound quality needs work. Story line and plot sucked. Chris C. must have needed the money. Rating: - Not what I expectedLooking at the trailer and then at the movie I would have to say that I am disappointed in this film. I wish I had rented it and not purchased it. Rating: - A psychic pedophile priest?That's the best that Chris Carter and company could come up with for a story idea? I have been a fan of the X Files for years and own all of the seasons. This film is awful. Empty. I'm glad that I didn't drive 33 miles to the theater to watch it. I still cannot believe that this was the X Files movie. Anyone who claims to have enjoyed this floater, obviously has not seen the series and has no idea how good the X Files can be. I thoroughly enjoy the series and the Fight The Future movie and I am so thankful to own them. Great stories with interesting characters that make you think and appreciate good writing and directing. This movie is just disappointing and worse, embarrassing. Browse for similar items by category:
